Wesley College Elsternwick

A True Education

Wesley College is a leading coeducational, open-entry, IB World School. Established more than 150 years ago, the College has enriched the lives of thousands of students throughout its history.

At the heart of Wesley’s approach to education is our commitment to developing well rounded individuals who aspire to achieve their personal best in all areas of learning.

The College supports the development of every girl and boy from early childhood years through to Senior School, across three Melbourne metropolitan campuses.

Elsternwick: Three-year-olds to Year 9

Glen Waverley: Three-year-olds to Year 12

St Kilda Road: Three-year-olds to Year 12

At Wesley, the concept of the classroom extends beyond the traditional school space to a variety of settings, contexts and physical locations, which expose, immerse and connect students to real-life learning opportunities. Some of these unique opportunities include:

year 10 induction program at the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School in the Kimberley, Western Australia

specialist international and local tours to support students’ learning.

Academic Excellence

Wesley College is one of the top VCE and IB schools in Australia, attracting students from a diverse range of countries and cultures. We have a long-standing tradition of academic success.

In 2017, 62% of our Year 12 students studied the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and 38% studied the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP).

Here are some highlights of their outstanding achievements:

3 IB DP students achieved the highest possible ATAR of 99.95 and a perfect score of 45. These students are: Amelia Goulding Holland, Jordi Shahab and Dorothea Yannoulidis

The IB DP median ATAR was 93.45

The Wesley combined median ATAR for VCE and IB DP was 86.70

113 perfect study/subject scores were attained across the VCE and IB DP cohort

The percentage of 40+ (or equivalent) study scores for VCE and IB DP was 29%

Many of our Year 12 students have received their first choice university offers from Melbourne’s top universities. With 55% of our students attending the University of Melbourne and Monash University, this reflects the high academic standard of teaching and learning at the College.

A balanced education

At Wesley, we offer a comprehensive curriculum which enables students to reach their full potential.

Wesley is the first authorised IB World School in Victoria to offer the IB curriculum framework from early childhood learning through to Year 12.

Wesley’s open, inclusive, safe and vibrant environment nurtures and stimulates each individual to develop as an active and responsible physical, emotional, intellectual social and spiritual being.

Students are offered a rich variety of opportunities that promote academic excellence and cocurricular learning. Individual student interests are supported through a range of extension and enrichment programs, including visual and performing arts, sport, music, outdoor education and community service.

Wesley students have won countless awards for their outstanding achievements in debating, music, visual arts, drama, literary festivals, and in national academic competitions.
